Affordable financing plans are available for those who want to become homeowners through TOKİ loans. For 2018, a TOKİ payment campaign offered a 20% discount. Applications began in April. Those who wish to repay their debt early can benefit from the TOKİ 20% discount opportunities. All conditions for the campaign have been clearly explained. Prospective buyers who want to pay off their debts early can take advantage of discounted loan options according to the terms. The 20% housing loan campaign applies to both residential units and commercial properties.
Which Banks Support the TOKİ Discount Campaign?

How Much Is Paid for TOKİ Preliminary Applications?
Reviewing TOKİ application steps shows that initiating an application is straightforward. Applicants must complete forms and make payments to qualify for the lottery. Payment amounts depend on income levels and the specific housing projects. Preliminary application fees were announced as 2,000 TL, 3,000 TL, and 5,000 TL. If an applicant pays a preliminary fee but is not selected in the draw, that fee is refunded. For refunds, applicants are expected to present their payment receipts.
How Much Will Pensioners Pay for TOKİ Housing Projects?
Pensioners have opportunities to become homeowners through dedicated TOKİ housing projects. A total of 15,000 homes were allocated for pensioners under the announcement. Eligible pensioners, meeting certain conditions and document requirements, can apply for these units. A quota of 25% of the allocated housing is reserved for pensioners. As a result:
- Pensioners can access low-cost TOKİ housing options starting at around 250 TL per month in some cases.
- For major cities, the minimum monthly payment starts at approximately 350 TL.
- Applicants who want to purchase with payments similar to rent must provide the required documentation.
- Disabled citizens and pensioners are prioritized for low-cost TOKİ housing projects.
What Family Income Is Required for TOKİ Housing Opportunities?
TOKİ continues to offer housing projects targeting low-income households. Eligibility is based on income levels and specific limits are applied. For example, households with a monthly income up to 3,200 TL are eligible to apply. This same limit applies for major cities in many cases. TOKİ also evaluates middle-income applicants. Applicants must not be registered as owners of any property; similarly, spouses and children must not hold title deeds in order for the application to be considered.
Who Receives Priority in TOKİ Lotteries?
TOKİ allocates housing nationwide and gives priority to certain groups based on their circumstances. Priority categories include families of martyrs and veterans, orphaned individuals, and widows, who are given preferential access to the housing opportunities offered in 2018. Disabled citizens are also prioritized. Requirements for priority applicants include:
- Providing copies of official disability cards issued by central authorities.
- Submitting full hospital reports documenting the condition.
- A committee report showing at least 40% disability to qualify for a separate quota.
After disabled applicants, pensioners receive priority, with a dedicated 25% quota. Remaining applicants are assessed and placed into the lottery according to these classifications.
How Many TOKİ Housing Projects Were Planned for 2018?
Project numbers vary by region. TOKİ announcements specify how many units will be built for each city and region. For example, plans included 2,500 units for Ankara, 500 for Eskişehir, 1,000 for Sivas, and 500 for Çankırı. Ongoing TOKİ application projects differ by region: the Black Sea region planned a total of 10,395 units, the Mediterranean region planned 6,963 units, and the Aegean region planned 6,593 units.
How Should the TOKİ Application Form Be Filled Out?
Announcements indicate which offices accept applications. To learn where to apply, follow the notices from provincial and district authorities. Dates and locations are important for timely submission. Typically, applications for housing projects are accepted through municipalities. Additionally:
- Applications can be submitted at governor’s offices.
- Preliminary applications can also be made via district governor’s offices (kaymakamlık).
Applicants must complete the required forms at these centers. After learning how to fill out the TOKİ application form, applicants provide personal information and details about close relatives. Married applicants must include spouse and children information where requested. Complete and accurate information on the forms increases the likelihood of acceptance.
What Documents Are Required for TOKİ Opportunities?
Careful preparation of TOKİ application documents is essential. Applicants must present the original and a photocopy of their identity card. Income documentation is required to demonstrate eligibility under the 3,200 TL maximum limit. For those who are unemployed, supporting documents should be provided. Disabled applicants must submit committee reports. Pensioners need to present their SGK documentation. Families of martyrs must obtain a certificate from the relevant pension authority. These documents are necessary for loan processing and application evaluation.
